Mav3rick1,

I'm going to assume you don't have a display with as high a native resolution specified in your file, it's more likely to be 1920 x 1080.

Try changing the following lines in your D3Prefs.txt file

DisplayModeWidth "2063"
DisplayModeHeight "1298"

to

DisplayModeWidth "1920"
DisplayModeHeight "1080"

Mav3rick1,

It might. You can also try resetting the game options in the Desktop App. Open the app, select but do not start Diablo III along the left side, click on Options, click on Game Settings, press the Reset In-Game Options button.
